Danny King is a speedway rider already itching for 2019 to start.

While many of his fellow racers are taking time out and forgetting about the sport after a hectic 2018, King, whose season ended early after a horror arm injury at Foxhall Stadium in May, has already signed for Championship Sheffield Tigers in 2019 – Ipswich Witches fans will be hoping he is back in the Premiership for the Witches.

While nothing is agreed as yet on that front, King spoke this week about his relief and joy to be back on a bike soon after a crash left him with no feeling in his left arm and no strength in his bicep.
